You will get a lot more people who are familiar with the 215/223 engines if you look at the forum in the link below. Scroll down to vintage sixes and you will find a lot of folks who can answer questions about these engines.

PS....I can also recall in the past some of the members posted solutions to your exhaust control damper problem. They have a search feature similar to fordbarn you can use to find it.
